What if a deadly manmade mutagen kickstarted a whole new era of evolution on Planet Earth?
The Orion Democratic Union declared Earth forbidden territory because of a deadly mutation agent known as Morphose that killed billions. Three hundred years after humans escaped that threat, a survey ship is dispatched to Earth orbit where crewman Aran Poole is forced to make an emergency landing. Marooned and desperate, he knows that the environment outside his downed scout craft could still be infested with the virus. The surrounding forest may hide lifeforms changed beyond recognition. He may be the only living human on Earth. Humankind may even have been replaced by generations of mutant offspring.
When Poole leaves his craft, his first breath may be his last. But his air is running out.
